Description
This simple action game is based on the Hollywood movie Arachnophobia. South American spiders have overrun a large area in some areas of the United States. It's your task to clean the infested farms, houses or public buildings by using an very effective pesticide called "Toxi-Max". One of the most useful devices your character can use is an arachno-detector indicating approaching vermin. The player sprite is controlled from a side-view and basically only needs to use his toxic pesticide in time to defend himself from attacking spiders, just like a simple reaction game.

Subject: 2 scary
this game succeeds
Subject: Great for Nightmares!
Subject: No Goodman; not great.
The only entertainment that could possibly be derived from this is to either drive into roadblocks continually to pull some sick donuts or to traumatise unsuspecting children with the game over screen.
